Common use of Qualifying Students Clause in Contracts

Qualifying Students. Pursuant to the Agreement, students may qualify for intervention services if they were identified as IFEP or reclassified as FEP between school year 2007-08 and the present, and lack proficient scores3 in reading and/or writing on (i) their most recent AZELLA-1 (AZ-1) or AZELLA-2 (AZ-2) subscale score in reading or their most recent AIMS Reading exam or (ii) their most recent AZ-1 or AZ-2 subscale score in writing or their most recent AIMS Writing exam. If a student lacks a current AIMS Reading or AIMS Writing score, the LEA will review the student’s core content grades within the last calendar year, including performance on other standardized tests, to determine whether intervention services are needed by the student. Students may qualify for intervention services targeted to their specific needs in reading, writing, or both. Students need not lack proficiency in reading and writing to obtain intervention services; a lack of proficiency in either suffices. 1 In this directive, the term “parent” is used to refer to a qualifying student’s parent or legal guardian, as applicable.
